I live in a condo building. There are no balconies but there is a large sun-deck that all tenants share and can be used for social gatherings. I walked out on it yesterday and there was a large gathering about 20 people, drinking and eating. I turned around and left and thought to myself how much I miss that. However, then I thought about how I would drink as much as I could at that gathering and when it finished, I would go home and drink all night alone until I passed out.
